Thanks. After I ordered the GPU I knew the right case for is would be the Torrent Compact. In order for everything to fit properly I decided to make my own cables. I got my crimper and all material from Titan Rig including the MDPC-X Classic Small Cable Sleeving, Brown-Carbon. With the right...

I just finished this build. I really wanted a Asus Noctua 3080 OC. By luck I was able to get one and with the Torrent Compact case I set out to make a clean build with no cable management issues. It took a while to get the right components and make everything fit together. Here is what it looks...

Niner21 Well after thinking about it I pulled the trigger and ordered the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti FTW2 GAMING 08G-P4-6775-KR . It had all the features I wanted and RGB lighting. I do plan to add the two 140mm fans in front so running those at 1000-1250 RPM should be fairly quiet and give...

Evil-Scotsman Yes I did those myself. You can see the thread in the first post to see how I built it.

For all the extra features that would be worth it to me. I have two choices One has iCX and the Silent one has ACX 3.0 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369702-REG/evga_08g_p4_6775_kr_geforce_gtx_1070_ti.html...

Thanks Niner21 I have been looking and wanted to go slightly higher than the black version that includes a backplate. I saw this for $409.99 shipped after rebate. What do you think of this deal? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369702-REG/evga_08g_p4_6775_kr_geforce_gtx_1070_ti.html

Thanks everyone so far for you input on this build. I went to Microcenter and Fry's Electronics yesterday and got the following. Newegg shipped the P.S. and Case. New PC Build Paid...

I was just reading some reviews that thought either adding two more 120mm fans to the one installed or two 140mm fans did help keep the GPU cooler and worth adding in the build. I can go either way so just thought to get the two 140mm fans and be done with it.

Thanks Skillz I wan to make it as quite as possible so I thought the 140mm fans would help. I am at ear level with the pc but it is off to the right side by two feet.

Thanks ReaperX22 Last question is fan size and placement in this case. 2 140mm fans or 3 120mm fans What brand and model number? This is for the front of the case. 1 120 mm fan in back Any fans on top or bottom and what size, brand and model number. This will always be air cooled and...

I am thinking of just getting a Fractal Design Meshify C - Dark TG case. It is small and will fit a CPU cooler up to 172mm so my bases would be covered if I upgraded the stock cooler at a later date. Any thoughts on this case or is there a better one for air cooling only?

Bigbacon I need to check but does not matter to me.

Thanks ReaperX22 Yes I only plan for one graphic card and the 4K monitor I posted above. The taxes at Microcenter kills a lot of deals so I have to find where I can gain a little bit.

Thanks Niner21 If I can find a case as small as I have to fit the 165mm cooler I will just keep this for my wife to use. That is a tough one.

Thanks Skillz. Anybody have any more thoughts on this?
